Lightning jumped between the orcs, but they endured the blow. What they didn't see was the lightning turn around and come in for a second strike.

This spell acts like lightning bolt, although you can choose not to travel the full 120 ft and its maximum dice cap is raised to 15d6 at caster level 15th. At the end of the path of lightning is left a crackling sphere of energy that takes up a 5 ft square and deals the damage of the lightning bolt for creatures passing through or ending their turns in the square. At any point in the duration you can concentrate (a standard action) to make another lightning bolt originating from the electrical sphere up to 120 ft away in a line, as long as it is within range of the spell. Thus at caster level 10 you could potentially concentrate for 5 rounds, moving your lightning bolt in a new direction each time.

Material Component: A bit of copper wiring.
